The generosity of people in the blogosphere constantly amazes me. Want a pattern to make a skirt or a top or want to know how to sew oilcloth? Simply Google it and nine times out of ten someone will want to share their ideas with you.

I don't know Jess from Craftiness is not Optional and she certainly doesn't know me. Every month she does a sew-a -long where she shares her knowledge and experience and takes her readers step by step through constructing one of her beautiful pieces. This month, it was the gorgeous Anna dress - a little bit retro and a whole lot comfortable.

I love the idea of sewing along with people around the world (hey, we're called Sew Together for a reason!) so I decided to participate. The result? A polka-dot Anna dress...

It makes me smile when I think about lots of little girls around the world running around in their custom-made Anna dresses!Thanks Jess - I really enjoyed completing this project and I can't wait for your next sew-a-long.

That's exactly why I do the sew alongs! I absolutely love seeing the finished garments people make-and the feeling of camaraderie with other sewists is so fun. Thanks for sewing along! I adore this dress. :D
